Say hello to the finished HIPPO. Took me three days to come up with the base design and is made entirely of one used pelican and two old Grizzlies and a cobra

[spartenenforcer2557]

It finally arrived. I’m so happy 😁

[spartenenforcer2557]

Painted his new chest piece. I’m very proud with how it turned out.

My faithful vs fallen set is taking to long to get here so I just bought a George figure second hand. I’m going to buy standard non gloss black primer tomorrow and repaint his armor.

[spartenenforcer2557]

Ok so I took a little break from painting figures and decided to start building things for my MOC. I would like to introduce you guys to the UNSC HIPPO (HighCapacity Intelligence and Priority Personal Outpost.)

So I feel really stupid. Like really stupid. So as you guys saw in my previous post, I had finished my personal spartan, which I did. But then as the days (I don’t touch my freshly painted Spartans for three days just to be safe) went by I noticed even with the primer and clear coat I had applied to the figures began to come off. Now to me it’s a little weird, because the primer and clear coat are supposed to prevent those things from happening. Like I get the joint areas and I have the occasional issue of paint, primer and all coming off just from the very bottom and sometimes a small section of paint just below and on the chin part of the helmet which I’m fine with. But the paint on the rest of my Spartan began to come off, from the helmet to the shoulder armor, the chest and back rig all the way down to the boots. So I had remembered coming across a solution to quickly remove paint from figures when I originally started painting (I used to paint LEGO clone troopers back in the days of yore, This difference In figure building materials will be a key factor here shortly.) Finger nail polish remover. Yeah the good shit right, wrong! So like the dumbass I am I take the polis remover and pour some into a bowl and remove key parts from figure, mainly pouches and I set him in it thinking to myself “Oh this figure is built from the same shit as LEGO, he should be fine soaking for a little.” BOY LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING REAL QUICK!!! I was dead wrong. So about 30 to 35 minutes pass by and I go to remove my spartan from his remover bath and as I pick him up i already knew I had messed up. (Enter the key base material comparison) Mega construx figures are made of a semi hard plastic for the base body while the base armor is a slightly tougher plastic and the helmet a more solid but maluable plastic. While LEGO is all one hard plastic, mini figures included. (Let’s just put it this way. With LEGO you have to worry about The hands, and just the waist portion. I’ve never seen anyone pop a LEGO head off it’s body with the neck peg still attached.) my whole point is LEGOs are made to be durable. While mega construx are made of a less durable material. So if you plan on re painting mega construx figures don’t let them soak in nail polish remover. Use Q-tips or just leave your figure painted. Talk about chemical reactions, the polish remover practically melted my figures body. And to add to my stupidity I panicked and used one of those mesh metal scrubbies on him so know he looks like he got lit up by heavy plasma burns and everything. So now I have to wait for my Faithful vs Fallen set to come in and that won’t be for sometime.

This is my personal spartan. In honor of the big man himself Tobias decided to take up the mantle of wearing that armor variant and using a chain gun as his primary.

[spartenenforcer2557]

Built this with the parts that came in. The Spartan profiles will be up eventually I just need to collaborate with my friends lol.

The year is 2556, the human covenant war still rages on many fronts. With the help of the spartan program the human race gains a foot hold in this time. Many new Spartans join the field each day pushing back what remains of the covenant.

On the far outer rim of The Andromada system the war is hitting the hardest as several planets of this system hold vast reserves of key resources needed on both fronts. With the help of the Spartan program Rear second Admiral Daniel Hanes and ONI assistant Director of Retrieval and acquisitions Mirian Grey have now been sent there first Batch of Spartans lead By A former ODST and military serurity consolentant Martin Briggs.

Small updates:

so I was thinking and I consulted with my friends who I’m doing this story for and we’ve come to an agreement that a name change and small story tweak is in order and to be honest it sounds way cooler then I thought. Say hello to Sentinal Security Services.

I just realized with more of my Spartans coming in I’ve jumped the gun on laying claim to my own personalized spartan. The spartan I posted about in a previous post Is Martin Briggs the founder and commander of these Spartans. I have completed my personal spartan but I will reveal him a little later today.

(All names have been changed for the protection of my friends and myself.)

Part two of my picture/terrain idea. Literally 15 minutes to do this and it’s quite reusable and very modular. I can just go out side and take what I need.
